Recommendation

Imagine that you control how, when and where you work. Now imagine that the sole measure of your performance is the quality of your output. “Workstyle” – the brainchild of Lizzie Penny and Alex Hirst, co-founders of social enterprise Hoxby – is an autonomous and individualized approach to work that promotes well-being, boosts productivity and empowers people to work in accordance with their personal circumstances. The time is ripe to abandon the obsolete nine-to-five world, join the workstyle revolution, and foment a better way of working that corresponds to progress in technology and society.

Take-Aways

  • A workstyle that aligns with your personal circumstances, priorities and passions enhances your well-being and increases your productivity.
  • The eight-hour workday is an obsolete vestige of the industrial age.
  • The time is ripe to discard the shackles of traditional employment in favor of an individualized approach.
